BelRravia.1

Wonderful ingenuity was displayed In 50
planning the Chinese emperor's palace as to
secure the greatest variety of situation and
to command the most varied views Every
natural feature of the ground has been elab-
GRATED so as to produce charming landscapes
which could scarcely be recognized as arti-
fetal; hills of from ten to sixty feet in height
were constructed, divided by little valleys
and watered by clear streams forming cas-
cades and lakes, one Of which was five miles
in circumference. On it's calm waters
hoated beautiful pleasure boats, including
one magnificent hOuse-boat for the amuse-
ment OF the ladies of the palace.
In every direction winding paths led to
quaint little pavilions and charming grot-
toes, while artificial rock-work was made
the nursery for all manner Of beautiful flow
ers, much care being bestowed on securing
a great variety for every season Of the year.
Towering treas were scattered over the
grassy hills, and their blossoms perfumed
the air. Each stream was crossed at fre-
quent intervals by most picturesque and
highly ornamental bridges of wood, brick,
or freestone, adorned with fancifuI kiosks,
in which to repose while enjoying the view.
The triumph Of art was to make these
bridges twist about in such an extraordinary
manner that they were often three times as
long as if they had been led in direct line.
Near some of them were placed some very
remarkable triumphal arches, either of elab-
crate carved wood or marble.

generation of thieves is destitute of the in
teIligence necessary to make the exact
plans and the close calculations without
which it is foolish to attempt to rob a
bank. They are naturally and profes-
sionally of grade too low for the bust
ness Then they get no encouragement
from the old, timers who are living out of
prison Such men, after serving long
terms, have no heart for stealing The
best proof of the fact that bank
burglars no longer exercise much influence
on the fears Of capitalists is to be found in

A Sure Remedy.
american Field.I

Chase nlustree propose seriously to
stop poaching in France by inserting
poison in all games found in snares, as by
poisoning those people who buy illicit
game of poachers an end would be put
to the traffic in poached game That the
remedy would be effectual we have no
doubt, until new generation had grown
up at least as poisoning people by whole
sale would certainly stop the demand for
game. AS a depopulator the method
would be q grand success; as a means of
protecting game the idea is so inhuman
that we cannot conceive how any sane
man could give EXPRESSION to it

4 CURIOUS OLD MEXICAN TOWN.

A CITY Where No Sound Of Wheels Ia
Ever Heard-A Public Laundry.
fannie B. Ward in San Francisco Chronicle.l
In Quiet Jalapa no sound Of wheels Is
ever heard, and probably carriage was
never seen here for these steep streets, as
tiresome as picturesque, were constructeu
long before such vehicles nao Dee1
thought Of The backs OF mules ana
Indians serve all purposes for which cars
are mausIIv employed, and horseback
riding is an unfailing delight. for some
of the finest views in the world are OBJ;
tanned from the surrounding hills The
onIv drawback to unalloyed enjoyment in
these otherwise perfect days Is the ire
ouency of pi-chipis, as the light drlz-
Zling showers are called; and even tnese
are blessings in disguise, for they keep
vegetation perpetualIy at its greenest, and
render dust an unknown quantity.
Of all the queer plazas, quaint market
places and charmingly grotesque old
churches it has been my good fortune to
find. those of Jalapa bear off the palm.
All the ancient stone sanctuaries have
curiouslY shaped roofs. with towers ana
buttresses having been built in days when
churches served for forts and places of
refuge as well as for purposes of wor
ship.
The public laundry of Jalapa is bit of
ouaintness to which no pen can do jus
tice. It is huge pavilion OF plastered
adobe, resting on immense stone pillars,
and erected exactly in the center of the
city-as If washing were the chief bust
ness of life, as indeed it is among the
lower classes, who make up the majority
In this poverty stricken country. Great
squares of Pompeian red adobe, answer
ing for tubs are ranged along both sides
of the running stream, which is fed from
an exhaustless fountain above. An aque
duct, meandering through the principal
streets, carries of the refuse which has
become frothy river from the free use
of amole-the mountain root that an
swers the purpose of soap everywhere in
Mexico.
Here, upon every day Of the week the
lavanderas congregate, young and Old
shriveled granddames and coQuettish Jua-
nitas-all gossiping and giggling together
as they bend over the pools and cleanse
their linen with jagged roots of amole.
This ancient fountain boasts tradition
similar to that of the Roman Trevi.
Whoever goes to quaff q parting draught
throws ten drops over his shoulder and at
the same moment D1akes wish; where
upon not only will the desire of his heart
be granted, but such are the magical vir-
tues of the fountain that he will surely
return again to this Land of Roses.

KINGS OF THE ROAD.
william H. Vanderbilt and Robert Bonner
Running q Race-The Result.

william III. Vanderbilt and Robert Bonner
Running Race-The Result.
New York letter.
The most observed of the drivers are
William h Vanderbilt and Robert Bonner.
The former is in bad health, but he has not
missed an afternoon Of the rare diversion.
He wears q cap Of unplucked beaver, the
longer hairs Of which stands out bristlingly
from his head like the quill from porcupine.
The collar and sleeves Of his ample coat, too,
are fur trimmed, and by reason Of flesh and
garb he nearly fills the width of the light
sleigh in which he sits alone. No lackey
accompanies him, and when he pulls mp at a
wayside inn it is the hostler who gets the
job Of holding the horses. These beasts are
Lysander and Aldine, pair which he has
driven on the track in 2:20, and which draw
him through the snow for short distances at
nearly if not quite that pace.
Bonner uses team composed OF RaruS
and Pickard, but they are not an ideal
match, for when urged TO their fastest Karus
FORCES ahead Of Pickard like the running
mate to a trotter in a race. Bonner's head
is big and odd, the diameter being as great
from front to back as from side TO side, and
that popularity is magnifed by the huge
otter cap which he wears. On the avenue
northward from Central park, where the
speeding of the horses to sleighs is chiefly
done, are the hostelries Of Gabe Case and
%Jedge" Smith, about mile apart. Wander
bilt stops to drink at both places, but Bon
ner never at either.
Just as Vanderbilt drove out from under
Cases shed Bonner came along. A race en-
sued. Vanderbilt is not handsome reins-
man. He leans anxiously forward, in an
attitude suggesting that the reins are cast
iron, and that with them he is pushing
rather than guiding the horses. Bonner
sits well back in his cutter, and his hands
lie in his lap, even when he is holding hard
But both shouted to their horses occasion
ally, after the manner Of professionals in
citing racers to the utmost exertion They
kept alongside for half a mile; after that
Vanderbilt's nsgs drew ahead; and on his
pulling up at Smiths he had to wait two OF
three seconds for Bonner to arrive.

Gen. Henry K Oliver is celebrated almost
as much for his wit as he is as 10 composer of
church music. The general and friend,
who was q stranger in Boston, were walking
down Washington street one afternoon when
their attention was attracted to a very
large man wearing a heavy blue overcoat,
who was approaching. He was man who.
from his enormous proportions and great
breadth Of stomach, would have been noticed
anywhere, and, moreover, there were traces
OF salt water about him.
"Who is that man?' inquired his friend Of
Gen Oliver
"That man." said the general. assuming
very solemn look, "is 1000 years old"
'eYou surely cannot mean that" said the
other.

boston Transcript
Like one who hears with sudden tnroD Oh
The lingering cadence Of an old refrain
Which wakes the echoes OF some VanlSn00
With tender pain,
So stand now with mingled pain and pleas
After long absence, at well-known door
Which guarded once my darling, my hearIs
treasure,
In days of yore.
Still bloom the roses with their old-time
sweetness
Round this dear cottage in my native land;
Trimmed is the hedge with all its wonted
neatness;
The old elms stand.
Like a soft carpet Of the richest green;
Still leaps the fountain with its light pulsar
Frightening the scene.
Years have not changed it; now as then the
Winds in the distance like silver stream;
Through the old orchard still the sunbeams
And brightly CLEAN
Ali but no voice of sweetest incubation
Nor ripping laughter greets my listening
ear;
All the brigh scene but brsathes in desola-
ton,
"She is not hereI"
&Not herel not herei" the murmurfng elm
trees sigh it,
The rustling grass repeats it meath my
feet
Her cherished roses mournfully reply it
In odors sweet.
Ger the soft lawn the shadows westward
creeping
Darkly enfold me at the ross-girt door,
In deeper shadows lies my dear love sleep
ing,
To wake no more.

CiviIity Meets Civility.

The Salesman" who replies, in our
Peoples Column. to the complaints of
q shopping lady. states general truth in
saying that his experience is that "civility
meets civility in every walk of life :"
There are exceptions, of course, but many
persons fail to meet civility because they
forget that it is due to those whom they
rank ~beneathn them.
